　　(2017·成都高三诊断性测试)People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement, the Government has suggested.

　　Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up­to­date will be more likely to keep their jobs, claims David Willetts, the higher education minister.He said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted, making a degree course “great value” for older people.His comments followed a government report which found that the country's future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.

　　One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer.The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028.Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.

　　Mr Willetts, who is accompanying David Cameron in India, urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，” he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up­to­date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”

　　Mr Willetts said a university course had “wider” benefits, making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，” he said.“ There will be people of all ages who will want to study.There is great value in lifelong learning.” Under previous rules, students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.

　　Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain.Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

　　1．According to the passage, a person who is over ________ years old can draw a pension in 2028 in Britain.

　　A．54 　B．60

　　C．65

　　D．67

　　2．What does Mr Willetts think of education?

　　A．There is no need for workers older than 60 to receive further education.

　　B．University courses have nothing to do with a healthy life.

　　C．Education is only provided for younger people.

　　D．People of all ages can receive different education.

　　3．What does the author mainly imply in the last paragraph?

　　A．The number of students in Britain is large.

　　B．The number of students aged over 60 years old is small.

　　C．The elderly don't like the courses for undergraduates.

　　D．The elderly refuse to receive education.

　　4．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Over­60s are told: go back to university and retrain

　　B．Britain: entering the ageing state

　　C．The situation of education in Britain

　　D．The system of pension in Britain

　　答

　　案

　　Ⅰ.1.选C　句意：“这周日早上出去野炊如何？”“好啊，为什么不呢(Yes, why not)？最近天气相当暖和。”根据“the weather is quite warm these days”提示可知，答案C符合语境。Well, no way“不可能”；Oh, never mind“不介意”；Sure, no doubt“当然，毫无疑问”，均不符合语境，故排除。

　　2．选B　句意：资讯记者匆忙赶到机场，结果却被告知那位影星已经离开了。此处表示一种出乎意料的结果，应用不定式作结果状语，inform与the news reporter之间为动宾关系，故选B。

　　3．选B　句意：以防约翰忘记他要帮自己搬家的承诺，苏珊又给他打了次电话。in case“以防万一”，符合句意。

　　4．选C　句意：目前，许多美国女性仍然面临着在工作和家庭之间进行选择的两难境地。desperation“绝望”；confusion“混乱”；dilemma“窘境；进退两难的境地”；concern“担心；忧虑”。根据句意可知，答案为C。

　　5．选C　句意：贫困学生的助学金已经到位了，他们可以用这笔钱回到学校继续学习。in order“整齐；状况良好”；in demand“有需要”；in place“准备就绪；准备妥当”；in vain“徒劳的”。根据句意选C。

　　6．选A　句意：在毕业典礼上他作了那么鼓舞人的演讲，以至于我们每个人都被深深地感动了，也受到了极大的鼓舞。such an inspiring speech放到句首，构成倒装句，时态和was deeply moved一致，应为一般过去时，故A项正确。

　　7．选D　句意：在看起来无望的等待后，黑龙江省的四名被困井下125小时的煤矿工人最终被营救上来。after此处为介词，空处引导宾语从句且从句中缺少主语，故应用what。

　　8．选D　根据语意“我认为中国政府决不会向这种无理要求屈服”可知， submit (oneself) to ... “向……屈服”，符合题意。如果使用resign的话，必须用resign oneself to。

　　9．选B　本题综合考查几个语言点。首先是考查非限制性定语从句，修饰policeman；其次考查“因……而控告某人”的表达，应用accuse ...of或charge ...with。

　　10．选D　根据语境并分析句子成分可知，“项目被批准”是将来完成的动作，as soon as在此引导时间状语从句，在时间状语从句中常用现在完成时代替将来完成时，故此处用现在完成时。“项目”与“批准”之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态。

　　11．选A　句意：在我们教室的某个房间，一场晚会即将在那里举行，学生正忙于摆放桌子。be to do sth.“按计划、安排即将发生某事”。

　　12．选A　句意：那些在外学习或工作的人们急于回家过春节。根据句意可知，eager“渴望的”符合句意。

　　13．选C　分析句子成分可知，“________ many factors lead to the change”是定语从句，a certain process为先行词，表示抽象地点，在从句中作地点状语，故空处用where。

　　14．选A　句意：从现在起你应该开始认真学习了，请专心于对你未来的发展非常重要的事情。concentrate on“专心于……”，符合句意。depend on“依靠；依赖”；put on“穿上；戴上”；take on“呈现；承担”。

　　15．选C　rewarding“有益的；有报酬的”；blessing“赐福；祝福”；demanding“高要求的；要求严格的；苛求的”；depressing“令人沮丧的”。根据语境可知，答案选C。

　　.1.选D　此处与第二段第一句中的“freedom from parents and schoolwork”相呼应。故答案D符合文意。

　　3．选C　此处与上文中的“we want to go back to being young”相呼应。故答案C符合文意。

　　4．选A　此处与第二段第二句中的“freedom from work pressure and family responsibilities”相呼应。故答案A符合文意。

　　8．选B　句意为：篱笆另一边的草总是更绿(greener)。thinner“更瘦弱”，与文意不符，故排除；yellow“黄的”；colorful“多彩的”，都没有比较的概念，均不符合语境，故排除。因此答案选B。

　　9．选C　此处与but后的“young adult”形成对比和呼应。故答案C符合文意。

　　10．选B　此处与最后一段第三句中的“wishing ... being young a bit longer”相呼应。故答案B符合语境。

　　11．选C　根据固定搭配“have sth. to do (有……可以做某事)”可知，答案C正确。make意为“使得”，make sb. do sth.; worry about意为“担心”；show off意为“炫耀”，均不符合语境，故排除。

　　12．选D　此处与下文“staying out late makes it hard ...”的感情色彩一致。故答案D符合文意。

　　13．选C　此处与第一段最后一句中的“worry about complex love affairs, ________ pressure and money problems”相呼应。故答案C符合文意。

　　.1.选D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028.”可知D项正确。

　　2．选D　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Education is ... people”和“There will ... lifelong learning.”可知D项正确。

　　3．选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段所列数字可知，去年参加大学课程的只有1 940位是60岁以上的老人，而总人数是552 240，故可推知，作者认为60岁以上的学生太少。

　　4．选A　标题归纳题。通读全文内容尤其是文章第一段可知，本文主要介绍了英国政府鼓励60岁以上的老年人接受再教育、再培训。故A项最适合作本文标题。
